The image depicts swirling, sinuous lines and ornate shapes in an abstract design. The border is intricately decorated with curling vine-like forms. In the center, there is a large shell-like structure flanked by floral embellishments. Below, there is a form reminiscent of an eagle or mythical bird with outstretched wings. The design is enclosed by a double border with blue and brown lines.
